> How To Prepare Yourself To Win
>
> As any great athlete will tell you, winning isn't accidental. It requires
> more than just planning and knowledge. You must also be able to get yourself
> into the right mental state to win, on cue, every time you "get on the field."
>
> Here's how:
>
> 1. See the Moments Coming
> There are situations in every career (and often every day), when you must
> absolutely be at the top of your game in order to win. As you look through
> your calendar each morning, identify those moments and schedule a minute or
> two before each moment so that you have time to prepare yourself to win.
>
> 2. Adopt a Winner's Physiology
> Your body and your mind are in a feedback loop. If you're slumping, frowning,
> cramped, and taking shallow breaths, your body is telling your mind to fail.
> Break that downward spiral NOW by acting like a winner:
>
> Smile
>
> Shake your body out
>
> Stretch
>
> Straighten your backbone
>
> Hold your head high
>
> Take three long, deep breaths
>
> Now your body is telling your mind to win
>
> 3. Visualize the Winning Outcome
> Create a vivid picture in your mind of exactly how things will look like when
> you've won this engagement. Imagine the words and sounds you'd be hearing
> (like applause and congratulations). Most of all, imagine how you'll feel
> when you KNOW you've won. Make winning so real that it's like you've already
> won.
>
> 4. Mentally Rehearse What You'll Say and Do
> Tracing backwards from what you've just imagined, lay out in your mind the
> specific actions you took to win in that situation. Play it out in your mind,
> including any obstacles that might have come up.
>
> 5. Disconnect From Goals and Results
> Now that you've told both your body and mind that you've already won, and how
> you won, let go of all that, as if it were past history. Don't think about
> winning or losing. Just be in the moment, focused on what you need to do
> next. If you watch Olympic athletes, you can actually see the moment, just
> before they begin, where they shrug off the thoughts of winning and make
> themselves ready to take action.
>
> 6. Take Action
> Go.
>
> 7. Celebrate
> Regardless of the results of your actions--indeed, even before you analyze
> whether or not you've won, take a moment to celebrate the incredible victory
> of doing your best while being in the moment. Consider: you just experienced
> your life at a higher level than 99 percent of the rest of the people in the
> world.
>
> 8. Learn
> Now, and only now, take a look at your results. Regardless of whether you won
> at the level you'd hoped or not, notice what worked and what didn't. Hone
> your thinking so that you can make the process even more powerful when you
> prepare for your next big moment.
>
> Try the above method for three days. It will change your life.
